How price-drop alerts work
Updated 2026-10-22 · General information, not legal or financial advice. Rules change — check official sources linked below.
A price-drop alert watches an event for you and emails you when the all-in price — including fees — reaches a target you choose. An on-sale alert tells you when new tickets are released.
How it works
- You choose an event, artist or team and the all-in price per ticket you’re willing to pay.
- We re-check sellers regularly and calculate the all-in price for each listing.
- When a listing meets your target, we send one email with a link to compare prices on SolaceTix.
Because we compare all-in prices, an alert won’t trigger for a listing that looks cheap but has big fees added at checkout.
Picking a sensible target
- Look at the price history on the event page to see the recent range.
- Targets near the recent low are more realistic than half the current price.
- Remember the quantity: per-ticket prices can be higher for pairs than singles.
- For very high-demand events, prices may never fall to your target. Decide in advance how long you’re willing to wait.
Limits — honestly
- Prices can move between our check and your click. Always confirm the total on the seller’s site.
- Alerts aren’t reservations. Cheap listings can sell within minutes.
- Prices can go up as well as down. An alert can’t make a price fall.
